Hello, i've find a promo in my local store about this laptop:
HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk0036nl
https://support.hp.com/it-it/document/c06414527
i like the hardware but regarding storage options i have a questions, this model have a free 2,5" slot to install a normal HDD or SSD sata3 along the m.2 pci-e already installed?
If there is a free slot there is already the flat cable to direct connect it or i need to buy the cable apart?
What flat cable i need to buy for this specific model?
Thank you if someone from HP or a user who own a similar model can help me.

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether the SATA cable is included in the hard drive.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
You need to purchase the cable separately. Below is the part number for the hard drive cable.
L56898-001
Refer to the below service guide for your computer for more information.

I hope that answers your question and you have a great day!

Thanks for the info, can you please point me the correct page of the HP Store where i can order these sata3 cables?
In my regional HP Store there is nothing listed as you can see:

Thanks you.

If the cables are not available on HP store in your region then you can purchase it online from Amazon or any other website.
